Our research interest basically focuses on the area of advanced targeting and delivery systems of polymers. We use the modification and synthesis techniques to develop novel polymers with special character and targeting function. Meanwhile, we apply the concept of dosage form design to develop the nanoparticulate/microparticulate delivery systems. The combination of functional polymers and particulate delivery system to achieve targeting and delivery of drug to specific areas of the body is our perspective. The other research interests include the design of micropore-controlled membranes and tablets, and the development of a novel hot-melt fabrication method for microparticles.
